The real bullshit is that pharma works with elected officials and the medical community to keep birth control regulated. Non-prescription birth control is over the counter in over 100 countries. ANYONE should be able to walk into a walgreens and buy birth control like a bottle of aspirin.

A teenage girl has to get herself to a clinic to get a painful invasive pap smear and breast exam before she can get a prescription for the pill. She also has to continue to come back for more exams and check ups to continue her prescription. I wonder why teen pregnancy is so high in low income areas?
